As we wrap up the mixing of our new album (to be released Sept. 2014) we’ve scheduled a series of acoustic shows.  Acoustic shows meaning an eclectic mix of covers and sf songs with mandolins, harmonicas, and latin percussion…. still sounds like rock n roll to me.  Really good stuff.  Here’s the upcoming schedule (more to follow): Saturday, April 12th – return visit to The Parlour – NYC, Upper West Side,  9:00 pm Friday, April 25th – local show at hometown hangout The Chesterfield Inn, 8:30 pm Saturday, May 3rd  – Lucky’s Tavern, Pine Hill, NJ, 9:00

As we finish up with the mixing of our new album we are starting to add a few shows for the spring and summer.  Here’s one… and it’s a good one: Saturday, March 15th, 9:00 PM The Parlour Irish Pub, 250 West 86th St. NY, NY 10024 – www.theparlour.com
